I'm really busy too, but I'm guilty of checking in and then not posting anything. I've been sooooooooooo busy with my landscaping, almost every evening there is something to do! I bought about 100 plants on Saturday but we couldn't plant them because I got rain over the weekend and the ground was too wet, so I've been hand watering all of them in their containers!!! We placed them where they are to be planted, so I could get an idea of where they actually looked appropriate. I have landscape plans and a very good designer drew the plants into the design, but I changed things around some. FINALLY today, the crew came to start planting. They only got the front bed done and THEN, I had to water all the plants by hand. Because of our drought, I can only water with a sprinkler on Mondays, so I have to water all the plants as they are planted by hand. WHEW! Actually we have a pretty good chance of rain over the weekend, so hopefully it will rain and I won't have to water by hand. All these plants are drought tolerant, so after a few weeks, I can water them once a week on Mondays with the sprinkler and after a few months, I won't have to water them much at all - at least that's my goal.
